It depends on how you define sense of humor. A few years ago after spending some time in France I returned to the US through the Port of Boston, (Logan Airport). In the customs/passport control area there were a number of lanes for different classes of travelers to expedite entry during busy periods. My flight came in during a slack period and only one lane was open for everyone. However I noticed a sign for the last lane which read something that translated from the legalese as _Undocumented/Illegal_Travelers_. When it was my turn to speak to the agent after getting my passport back and answering all his questions, I nodded in the direction of that lane and said "I bet you don't get a lot of people lining up there." His response was "You'd be surprised", and a slight smile. I really wished I had camera to shoot the sign but it was packed up...
